Haute of the Press: 2026 Louis Vuitton Price Increase

The value of your Louis Vuitton handbag just went up. And if you don’t own one yet, there’s never been a better time to invest in resale.

Price Increase by Style

Another year, another hike. After two rounds of U.S. price adjustments in 2025, this year’s increase landed exclusively on handbags. The biggest mover was the Low Key Cabas MM at 5.7%, jumping $4,400 to $4,650, though no handbag was spared. Let’s take a closer look at some FASHIONPHILE favorites that felt the bump.

Louis Vuitton Speedy

The bag that started it all is worth more than ever now. Increases across the Speedy family were modest and measured, ranging from 2.1% on the Nano and Bandouliere 25 to 3% on the Bandouliere 30, 2.9% on the 35, and 2.8% on the 40.

Louis Vuitton Alma

Structured, storied, and quietly appreciating. The Alma BB rose 3.1%, and the Alma PM followed at 2.9%.

Louis Vuitton Keepall

This travel bag is worth investing in before your next trip. The Keepall Bandouliere 45, 50, and 55 all moved a clean 3%.

Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Never one to disappoint, the Neverfull is also on the up and up. The PM rose 2.9%, the MM 3.2%, and the GM 3.1%.

Louis Vuitton Noe

An old soul with serious staying power, the Noe is now worth even more. The Noe BB led with an increase of 3.3%, followed by the Petit Noe at 3.2%, the standard Noe at 3.1%, and the Nano at 2.9%. Cheers if you already own one!

Louis Vuitton OnTheGo

The workhorse of the lineup means business. The OnTheGo MM rose 3%, and the GM came in just under at 2.9%.

Louis Vuitton Palm Springs

As hot as its namesake, the Palm Springs Backpack is only getting hotter. The Mini climbed 3% while the MM saw a smaller bump of 2.3%.

Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis

One of the most coveted bags in Louis’ lineup, the Pochette Metis has earned its status, and this latest increase is further proof of its enduring value. It rose 2.9%.

Investing in Louis Vuitton

To shop or to sell, that is the question. And the answer? Both. Whether you decide to hold on to your asset, cash in, or invest in a new Louis, the return on investment is juicy…and only getting juicier. 

Louis, like Chanel, Hermes, and Cartier, tends to build value over time, making it a smart luxury investment. Let’s use the Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30 to illustrate our point. If you bought one in 2022 at $1,640, it’s now worth $2,040—that’s a 24.4% return in four years alone (lucky you!).

The data illustrates exactly how much these timepieces grew in value from this round of increases alone. Whether you choose to hold on to your watch and let it accumulate value or cash in your Cartier right now, the return on investment is undeniable. Why wait?
